The prestigious international competition hosted annually by The Drinks Business, which evaluates Chenin Blanc wines from around the world, recognised Perdeberg across a range of styles, from fortified and natural sweet wines to barrel-fermented, single vineyard, and Méthode Cap Classique expressions, underscoring the versatility of the cultivar and the depth of Perdeberg's Chenin Blanc portfolio.
Perdeberg's award-winning wines include:
“We are thrilled with this result, particularly the Master award for our Fortitude Fortified Chenin Blanc,” says Andri Le Roux, Perdeberg winemaker. “It reflects the exceptional quality of fruit coming off our vineyards in the Agter-Paarl area, and the skill of our team in translating that into wines with real character and ageing potential. To see this recognition span fortified, natural sweet, barrel-fermented, single vineyard, and Cap Classique styles speaks to just how versatile Chenin Blanc truly is.”
The Master award is the highest accolade given at the Global Chenin Blanc Masters, reserved for wines judged to be truly exceptional examples of the variety. This is Perdeberg's second consecutive year of strong performances at the competition and a multiple award haul from the 2025 edition.
Winning a Master award for our fortified Chenin Blanc is a particularly special moment for the Perdeberg Wines Team. It's a style that requires patience, precision, and a deep understanding of the grape, and this result affirms that our winemaking team has that mastery. Alongside our Gold and Silver medals across such a broad range of styles, this result reaffirms our position as The Home of Chenin Blanc™ and gives our consumers confidence in the quality and consistency of every bottle they choose. Perdeberg continues to build on its legacy of Chenin Blanc excellence.
